I would like a toilet or at least a way to roll down the window. These pepsi bottles are filling up fast.

According to the police, Captain Nowak drove more than 950 miles from Houston to Orlando to meet with Captain Shipman, who was flying from Houston to her home in the Orlando area at the same time — because she wanted to confront Captain Shipman after discovering that she too was involved with Commander Oefelein.
Captain Nowak, 43, was wearing a trench coat and wig when she was arrested early Monday morning. She told the police she had worn diapers on the journey so that she would not have to stop to use the restroom so she could arrive in time to meet Captain Shipman’s flight at the airport.
The police also found a knife, BB pistol, and latex gloves in her car, a police affidavit said.

Instead of adding nukes, why don't PGI re-design the maps so we can have "levoloution" in MWO?
Sure, everyone will trigger the levolution for the eye candy as soon as it's released, but over time, people will trigger it for tactical and strategical purposes.
Wouldn't it be awesome if the platform in Terra Therma collapsed and fell into the lava? or how about an avalanche in Alpine Peaks? It wouldn't be a necessity to climb up Mt. Everest to win the game anymore!

When you quote me on this you need to also acknowledge that I later pointed out they didn't stick to table top values even in beta. As I also pointed out long ago those are the values the weapons are supposed to do in 10 seconds and the damage/heat from the tables should have been divided by a weapons given RoF over 10 seconds to accurately reflect Lore values. ;)


Sorry, stopped paying attention to you AND the game shortly after that first comment

I wouldn't mind having present day weapons accuracy and range... An M2 .50 cal has an effective range of 1800+ meters, and the 120 mm main cannon of an Abrams can hit out to 2,500+ meters. We apparently already have lostech lol

Before you ignore the lore, put your gundam gear away and learn a little about Battletech.

I want X-Ray lasers.

They fondue the pilot and heat up any parts of the mech they touch.

It's the closest real world system I've seen to the old Sci-Fi "Death Rays" of yesteryear.

Would a PGI employee count?

How about if my plan was to use them as clubs to bash mechs with?

Hmm... how about

UA-Disco Ball.

Flies up in the air like a UAV, then blinds people and induces seizures by means of strobe lights, loud music, and many many rotating tag beams.

Only slightly less effective at gaining targeting lock then UAV.

Meh, I don't really like Gundam. This is meant to be for fun, not to be taken seriously. I'm just curious to see what kind of weapons MWO would have if it didn't follow the lore.

The Honor Harrington books used a version of missile carried X-Ray lasers. I had forgotten those. It's been years since I read them.

I was thinking of Larry Niven's version in Footfall (Earth invaded by aliens that look like baby elephants) or in the Niven & Pournelle "Mote in God's Eye" novels. I recommend all those books VERY highly for anybody into hard science fiction.
